Wand to Stapleton’s newest and largest swimming pool arriving soon. If you can wait until Saturday, June 29, Stapleton is holding a “Party on the Wild Side” block par ty just up the street from Lennar’s model to celebrate Nor th End’s proximity to 16,000-acre Rocky Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, with fishing lakes and trails. But Hickok says you’re better of f to see this model now, while Lennar has the best choice of sites available and a schedule of homes set to deliver later this year. And you’ll see how convenient North End is to attraction­s arriving at Beeler Park & Plaza, to shopping and enter tainment at

added suite for a nanny residence; another are siblings planning to share a home, one of them with kids. You can tour the Legacy — the largest plan in the collection, with five bedrooms including the suite, 3,171 finished square feet — and right now you can also walk the other two of the collection’s plans, each of them being trimmed for buyers. Lennar can deliver from hen Lennar Homes designed its inventive Generation­s Collection of family-sized homes, each of them with a set-aside private suite with its own entrance, the assumption was that buyers would use that space for a parent that comes home to live — or for a kid that returns after finishing school. But after only a few weeks since the model opened in Stapleton’s newest neighborho­od, buyers in the master-planned community are lining up to buy them — and not necessaril­y for the reasons anyone had imagined. “I’m amazed at the variation of ideas people have on how to use those suites,” says Ed Hickok, who will show you Lennar’s new Legacy model show home today, in Stapleton’s Nor th End neighborho­od, just south of the Rocky Mountain National Wildlife Refuge. Hickok began showing the completed model three weeks ago but already has two homes sold and seven lot reser vations, for homes star ting from the low $700s. One buyer will use the $707,900, a real price for a home on a Nor th End site that will have Lennar’s “Ever ything’s Included” approach to options and finishes — the extras that most buyers want including air conditioni­ng, rounded corners, nicer counters and cabinets, window coverings, smar t locks and other smart-home features, par t of the package. “On this model home, 98 percent of what you’re seeing is what’s packaged in with Ever ything’s Included,” notes Hickok. He adds that Lennar’s 41 sites for Generation­s plans in Nor th End are ver y close to DPS’S Inspire Elementary K-thru-3rd School, designed for smaller class sizes, creativity and collaborat­ion The Shops at Nor thfield, and to Stapleton’s new A-line commuter rail station to downtown or DIA.
